ENTING BRANDING

customers. A shift to the mindset of treating ademanding customer who can go elsewhere is thetoughest challenge in developing a successful brand.
G etting the right partners - H aving specialist agenciesfor communication and training that understandsmanaged healthcare.

W eb- It is now much more than a communication platform thathouses your brochures, use the web to talk to your customersand make your services available online.H ospitals are also successfully using the web to attractoverseas patients.
P rograms- Traditional loyalty programs are again not the wayto go for a hospital. What works is small niche focusedprograms that either focus on a audience or a specific service M other and child programs, E xecutive health checks etc.
General- G AP AnalysisThis is the difference between who you think you are and who
your customers thinks you are.It can also be the difference between who the customers think
THEY are and who you think they are..

TOOLS OF
BRANDING
A balance of tangible and intangibleTangible would comprise the physical aspectslike equipment, the space allotted as parkinglots for patients, and even the smell at thehospital. Intangible implies the uniqueexperience a patient would receive
H ospitals often make the mistake of concentrating more on the tangible part of branding, whereas it is the intangible part thatenhances the brand image

T argeting the S tressed P atient At the time of check-in, a patient is naturally stressed. This iswhen the patient and his/her relatives need the hospital'semotional support the most. " If that stress is taken care of, thenbe rest assured the customer will remain loyal and in turnrecommend your hospital
Customer D elightThis can be easily given to them through a personal touch andemotional assurance. It creates an ever-lasting impression.
N ameThe nomenclature too plays a critical role. It should depict theservices the hospital specializes in (for instance Asian H eartInstitute), should be short ( M ax H ealthcare)

F or Various T iersDepending on the market, branding plans will differ for secondary, tertiary or multi-speciality hospitals . The brandingbudget, message, positioning, medium, all have to be devisedand tailor-made according to the organization.
Secondary care hospital will target local surrounding areas andpeople, so they can brand themselves as a part of that region.Tertiary and multi-speciality care hospitals will need to target thenational and global market, and also medical tourism.
O ld hospitals must highlight their decade-long experience, flaunt
their rich heritage and thus touch people's heart and emotions,instead of the latest gadgets they have acquired

Value P roposition : E
nsuring value proposition is essential.V
alue proposition neednot mean high quality at a low price. It means, even if thehospital's charges are high, it must offer the best service,technology and most importantly, emotional assurance
R eality Check
Branding begins through realizing the USP of the hospital byconducting a reality check. This will include the hospital'sinherent strengths, weaknesses, its competitors, the positioning,and quality of doctors and services.
Simultaneously, it is important that the hospital design its logo,slogan, the colors to be associated with the brand and which willbe used in all hoarding, brochures, and on the website

G rowing in health sector
By brand extension, we mean when a hospital,possibly with just one specialty, decides to includeother specialties. Wockhardt and F ortis, which startedas cardiac institutes and later became multi-specialtyhospitals, are apt examples of brand extension.
If hospitals plan to expand, they must do so inspecialties related to their original specialty. This
way, people are likely to accept the additionssportingly
